Friendswood Mustangs
The Friendswood Mustangs are a sleeping giant. The southside school sometimes gets overlooked as a state volleyball power, but the 'Stangs reached the Final Four for the 10th time last year. Friendswood fell to Lucas Lovejoy at state, which has made the Mustangs even more hungry for a state title run in 2020. Coach Sarah Paulk is one of the best in the business since she arrived five years ago. The Mustangs are loaded with athletes. Leading the way are District Offensive MVP Ashlyn Svoboda (Northwestern State- commit) and District Newcomer of the Year Alessandra Meoni. They give Friendswood's offense some legit firepower. In the middle is Sarah Sitton, a first-team selection in 2019. Playing all the way around is first-teamer Kate Bueche. If there is a weakness, it would be the uncertainty of the setter position after the graduation of Tori Weatherley.
